And with past. For now, let’s just take a quick review of the highlights the IMP entering its 20th year, there really is plenty to celebrate. of the past year. It must have seemed crazy 20 years ago when Boehringer Ingelheim and Genentech decided to create a new biomedical After some frustrating technical delays, we are all relieved research institute in the run-down part of a city that – despite a that the mice have now finally moved into the spacious new strong intellectual tradition – was not exactly a vibrant center IMP-IMBA mouse house. An undertaking of this scale is never of scientific innovation at the time. But with hindsight, this was easy, and this one was certainly not without its complications. an inspired decision. But now, thanks to the heroic efforts of Andreas Bichl and his team, as well as Alex Chlup and the technical department, the In Vienna, the IMP has had an impact that it might not have had mice are all now happily breeding in their new home.

It has served as a role model for the neighbouring to Erwin Wagner, who has skillfully guided the whole operation institutes of the University of Vienna and the Medical University, from the very beginning. now restructured as the Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL), as well as two new institutes of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Another significant achievement of the past year was the – IMBA and GMI. And the biotech company Intercell, founded as establishment of the Vienna Drosophila RNAi Center (VDRC). a spin-off of the IMP and the University, has grown to become The VDRC maintains the genome-wide Drosophila RNAi library one of Europe’s most successful biotech companies.

City of Vienna and the Ministry of Science covers much of the bill, the rest by user fees. Krystyna Keleman, Reinhard Klug, and There are many people to thank for this; too many to list here. their team have done a terrific job in setting up the VDRC.

Without Pax5, development of B cells is arrested at an early stage: progenitor B cells (pro-B cells) are produced but do not differentiate further. As long ago as 2001, Markus Horcher in Meinrad’s group was able to show that inactivation of Pax5 in mature B cells caused loss of these cells, although the mechanism was unclear (Immunity 14, 779-790).

Abstract Diseases involve complex modifications to the cellular machinery. The gene expression profile of the affected cells contains characteristic patterns linked to a disease. Hence, new biological knowledge about a disease can be extracted from these profiles, improving our ability to diagnose and assess disease risks. This knowledge can be used for drug re-purposing, or by physicians to evaluate a patient's condition and co-morbidity risk. Here, we consider differential gene expressions obtained by microarray technology for patients diagnosed with various diseases. Based on these data and cellular multi-scale organization, we aim at uncovering disease{disease, disease{gene and disease{pathway associations. We propose a neural network with structure based on the multi- scale organization of proteins in a cell into biological pathways. We show that this model is able to correctly predict the diagnosis for the majority of patients. Through the analysis of the trained model, we predict disease{ disease, disease{pathway, and disease{gene associations and validate the predictions by comparisons to known interactions and literature search, proposing putative explanations for the predictions.

  • Drugging the Undruggable: Advances on RAS Targeting in Cancer
    G C A T T A C G G C A T genes Review Drugging the Undruggable: Advances on RAS Targeting in Cancer Miriam Molina-Arcas 1,*, Amit Samani 1,2,* and Julian Downward 1,3 1 Oncogene Biology Laboratory, Francis Crick Institute, London NW1 1AT, UK; [email protected] 2 Department of Medical Oncology, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London W2 1NY, UK 3 Lung Cancer Group, Institute of Cancer Research, London SW3 6JB, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.M.-A.); [email protected] (A.S.) Abstract: Around 20% of all malignancies harbour activating mutations in RAS isoforms. Despite this, there is a deficiency of RAS-targeting agents licensed for therapeutic use. The picomolar affinity of RAS for GTP, and the lack of suitable pockets for high-affinity small-molecule binding, precluded effective therapies despite decades of research. Recently, characterisation of the biochemical properties of KRAS-G12C along with discovery of its ‘switch-II pocket’ have allowed development of effective mutant-specific inhibitors. Currently seven KRAS-G12C inhibitors are in clinical trials and sotorasib has become the first one to be granted FDA approval. Here, we discuss historical efforts to target RAS directly and approaches to target RAS effector signalling, including combinations that overcome limitations of single-agent targeting. We also review pre-clinical and clinical evidence for the efficacy of KRAS-G12C inhibitor monotherapy followed by an illustration of combination therapies designed to overcome primary resistance and extend durability of response. Finally, we briefly discuss novel approaches to targeting non-G12C mutant isoforms.

  • Combining Three Antibodies Nullifies Feedback-Mediated Resistance to Erlotinib in Lung Cancer
    RESEARCH ARTICLE CANCER Combining three antibodies nullifies feedback-mediated resistance to erlotinib in lung cancer Maicol Mancini,1 Nadège Gaborit,1 Moshit Lindzen,1 Tomer Meir Salame,2 Massimiliano Dall’Ora,1 Michal Sevilla-Sharon,1 Ali Abdul-Hai,1,3 Julian Downward,4,5 Yosef Yarden1* Despite initial responses to targeted kinase inhibitors, lung cancer patients presenting with primary epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations acquire resistance, often due to a second-site mutation (T790M). However, clinical trials found no survival benefits in patients treated with a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to EGFR that should block activation of the mutated receptor and thus bypass resistance to molecules that target the catalytic or ATP-binding site. Using cell lines with the T790M mutation, we discovered that pro- longed exposure to mAbs against only the EGFR triggered network rewiring by (i) stimulating the extra- Downloaded from cellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK) pathway; (ii) inducing the transcription of HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) and HER3, which encode other members of the EGFR family, and the gene encoding HGF, which is the ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase MET; and (iii) stimulating the interaction between MET and HER3, which promoted MET activity. Supplementing the EGFR-specific mAb with those targeting HER2 and HER3 suppressed these compensatory feedback loops in cultured lung cancer cells. The triple mAb com- bination targeting all three receptors prevented the activation of ERK, accelerated the degradation of the re- ceptors, inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells but not of normal cells, and markedly reduced the growth of http://stke.sciencemag.org/ tumors in mice xenografted with cells that were resistant to combined treatment with erlotinib and the single function-blocking EGFR mAb.
